Santos Dumont Airport (SDU)


Santos Dumont is the closest airport for a Centro and Lapa stay — domestic hops across the bay from the historic centre.

The archive seed marks SDU as the handy airfield for this neighborhood. Taxis and ride-hail are the usual last hop; the metro does not land at the terminal.

Galeão (GIG) is the intercontinental airport — a longer transfer, not this page.

How to go

Use a taxi or ride-hail from Lapa toward Praça Senador Salgado Filho; the walking map on this page is orientation, not the luggage route.
